    I have no problem with him being in the top 200, but this high in a ranked list though?

    I know what you mean but the fact that he achieved so much with that voice does earn him a pretty high spot. Most the people on here were born with a beautiful voice but Dylan found a way to make his weird ass voice work in hundreds of different contexts somehow. He's like the king of the non-tradional singers and proved to regular folk that you could make any voice work if you're smart enough.

    Just saw Abel at 110

    Didn’t expect him because people usually underrate his vocal ability, shoutout Rolling Stone for acknowledging him

    I’ve always felt like I was being gaslit seeing Kurt so high on these lists but again it’s like, if you love the music, you probably love the voice behind it. He really did leave it all on stage for the Unplugged set.

    That’s why she’s a better singer than Adele lol

    She does that but she also can do playful tracks that don’t sound like a bomb going off

    I get it. Not many rock singers managed to let the ghost of electricity howl through the bones of their face like he does in the last minute of this

    Well she came out with albums every year so covered way f***ing more territory than someone that can barely do two per decade work ethic era vs waiting and wishing and hoping for inspiration era I guess
